All Chapters of Now The Alpha Wants Me.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

HarryThe tray felt heavier than it should, not because of the food. The weight was due to the questions that silently followed me as I climbed the stairs. I ignored them.Bella hadn’t eaten.The doctor had already warned her not to skip meals. That was the only reason I was doing this. Nothing else. When I reached her door, I knocked once.No answer.I knocked again.Bella.A few seconds later, the door opened.She looked surprised to see me.Then her eyes fell to the tray in my hands.For a brief moment I couldn’t read her expression.Alpha?You didn’t eat.Her fingers tightened around the edge of the door.I told the servant I wasn’t hungry.I know.Neither of us spoke.Finally, I held the tray toward her.Take it.She didn’t move.I’ll eat later.You’ll eat now.Her eyes slowly lifted to mine.There was no anger in them.No hope.Only quiet exhaustion.I’m really not hungry.The doctor said skipping meals isn’t good for the baby. The words left my mouth before I realised how they

BellaThe following morning arrived far too quickly. Before the sun had fully risen, the Alpha House was already bustling with activity. Servants hurried through the hallways carrying trays of refreshments, polishing furniture, and making sure every corner of the house was spotless.In the dining hall, Bella meticulously examined the long table set for the Pack Council.The elderly housekeeper approached with a reassuring smile.My Lady, everything is ready.Bella looked around once more.Have all the guest rooms been prepared?Yes.And the meeting hall?The servants finished preparing it an hour ago.Bella nodded in satisfaction.Good.She wasn't doing this to impress anyone.She simply wanted everything to run smoothly.After all, she's the Luna now.Whether people accepted her or not, she intended to fulfil her responsibilities.Harry adjusted the cuff of his shirt as he walked toward the meeting hall.Lucas fell into step beside him.The council members have all arrived.Harry nod

BellaMy hand remained suspended in front of the office door. The voices inside had fallen silent. I lowered my gaze to the folder in my hands.PerhapsThis wasn't the right time.Just as I turned to leave, Harry's voice came from inside.Come in.He had heard me. Taking a slow breath, I knocked softly before opening the door.Harry was standing beside his desk.Brianna sat across from him.The moment I entered, both of them looked in my direction.I lowered my head politely.Alpha.Harry gave a slight nod.You've finished reviewing the council recommendations?Yes.I stepped forward and placed the folder neatly on his desk.I've written down a few suggestions.Harry opened the folder immediately.His eyes moved across the notes I had made.The room remained quiet.After a few moments, he looked up.These are well thought out.I only suggested what I believed would benefit the Alpha House.He nodded once.I'll have them considered.I'm glad they were helpful.Again, silence settled be

BellaThe household review had finally come to an end. As I walked back toward my room, I released a quiet breath. The morning had been more exhausting than I had expected. Not because the work itself had been difficult But every decision I made had undergone careful scrutiny.For the first time since becoming the Luna, I had stood beside Harry before the entire household. Every servant. Every department head. Every member of the Alpha House. Yet somehow the review had ended without incident.I was grateful for that.Reaching my room, I closed the door quietly behind me.The silence was comforting.I walked toward the window and looked out over the gardens below.The Alpha House had already returned to its usual routine.Servants crossed the courtyard carrying baskets and supplies.Others navigated the hallways, picking up where they had left off before the review.Life continued as though nothing unusual had happened.Perhaps that was for the best.I rested one hand over my stomach.

HarryBrianna's words followed me long after she left."I hope you find the answer you're searching for."I wasn't searching for anything.At least, that was what I kept telling myself.The following days passed much like the ones before them. Meetings. Patrol reports. Council documents.Anything that demanded my attention became a welcome distraction.Anything except Her.No matter how carefully I arranged my schedule, Bella was impossible to avoid. She appeared wherever responsibility required her.In the east corridor, discussing repairs with the servants.Outside the main hall, speaking with the estate manager.In the library reviewing correspondence that required my approval. Every encounter was brief. Every conversation remained professional. Yet every single one left me more irritated than the last.The bond refused to stay quiet.Whenever she stepped too close, it stirred.Whenever her scent drifted through the air It tightened painfully inside my chest.I hated it.I hated th
